Greetings readers. I've just returned to Illinois from a two-week family vacation in Florida, and it's already time for another newsletter. Everything seems to slow down a bit during the summer so this month's newsletter is a little shorter than normal, and I don't have any big announcements to make. Hopefully you'll still be able to find a few posts that are of interest.

2. User-to-User: Your Input Requested

We love nothing more than having interesting discussions on our forum -- and we love when new people participate in the discussions. In each newsletter we try to highlight a few topics that we think might interest casual readers and that are good candidates for making your first post.

* Your thoughts wanted: The right way to honor the passing of a DC forum member? * Why you should record video of the everyday people in your life * DonationCoder Recipe Sharing Thread * I'm ready to join the HTPC (home theater pc) revolution - what to get? * Help me choose my next smartphone * What is safer for data -- a hard disk or a blue ray disc? * Digitising slides? * DonationCoder.com 30-day Healthy Eating and Exercise Challenge

3. Member Reviews, Projects, Software Releases, and Announcements

We love to keep up with projects that our members are working on, and hearing what our forum members think of software they use. If you're working on something interesting -- let us know!

This section highlights some discussions that might be relevant for not just for coders and developers, but also people interested in entrepreneurial issues.

* Article about startup founders stuck in the middle of making it or breaking it. * Microsoft ending TechNet subscription activations effective august 2013 * No country for amateurs - the danger of supposedly secure messaging * Bug Bounty From MS * DRM for HTML5 Standards * Stanford University - free course for building a start-up - starting from zero. * Clever and easy music distribution ideas?
